What Is The Advance-Titan and What Content Does It Publish?

Updated

The Advance-Titan (advancetitan.com) is the independent student newspaper of the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh campuses. It publishes campus and Oshkosh-area news, sports coverage, arts and culture stories, and opinion pieces, and it offers free email newsletters for readers who want updates delivered.

Who runs it and what it covers

The site identifies itself as the "Independent Student Newspaper of UW Oshkosh Campuses." Its content is organized around four main sections:

Section What you'll find
News Campus governance and student government, university policy, local developments
Sports UW-Oshkosh Titans teams, match recaps, player and transfer features
Arts & Culture Campus events, seasonal guides, cultural programming, local history
Opinion Staff columns, reviews, and commentary on campus life

Coverage is hyper-local: stories center on UW-Oshkosh and the surrounding Oshkosh community rather than national or international news.

Examples of the kind of reporting it does

Recent headlines on the site show the range of topics:

  • Student government: A report on an Oshkosh Student Government town hall previewing changes to campus dining.
  • Sports: Coverage of the No. 3 UW-Oshkosh women's volleyball team's undefeated week, and a football loss to UW-Platteville.
  • Campus life: A feature on business students opening a coffee shop, and a panel on cultural appreciation versus costume appropriation around Halloween.
  • Local color: A tour of decorated homes near campus and a guide to Halloween on a budget.

Stories carry bylines from student editors and staff, with dates listed alongside each headline.

How to follow it

  • Read directly: All articles are browsable by section on the homepage.
  • Newsletters: The site offers a General Newsletter and a Sports Newsletter; signup requires an email address.
  • Support: A "support the Advance-Titan" link is available on the site for readers who want to contribute.

If you're a UW-Oshkosh student, prospective student, or Oshkosh resident looking for campus-centered reporting, this is the publication to check. For national news, you'd need other sources.
